For the recruitment for different posts, Combined Graduate Level (CGL) is conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), and is one amongst the most awaited examinations. Annually, over 20 lakh candidates apply for this recruitment examination conducted for filling up Group B and Group C posts in various ministries and departments in the government of India.

The SSC CGL 2018 will be conducted in four tiers. The tier-I & II rounds are computer-based examinations. The commission is all set to conduct the tier-I rounds between July 25 and August 20, 2018. As the exam date is approaching, it's high time for the aspirants to accelerate their tier-I preparations. One should not keep these daily practises at bay to crack the SSC CGL Tier-I round. Here are some of the things you need to do daily for the SSC CGL preparations.

Stick To Your Study Schedule

The competitive examination such as SSC CGL requires constructive preparations. Most of the aspirants might have prepared a study schedule based on the revised syllabus for the tier-I round. Be focused and always try to achieve your daily targets. If you fail to achieve the target of the respective day, it will increase your stress on the next day. Hence, it's always suggested to follow the study schedule.

Online Mock Tests

The SSC CGL Tier-I & II rounds will be computer-based examinations. Acquainting yourself with the online examination is suggested. The duration of the tier-I round is one hour and aspirants have to answer 100 multiple-choice questions. Taking the online exam is entirely different from the offline preparations. Aspirants are suggested to practise the online mock tests regularly.

Opt Previous Years' Question Papers

Solving the previous years' question papers will make you understand the weightage of topics. The previous years' question papers also provide the key information related to the important topics in the sections. Hence, daily practising of past question papers is suggested.

Keep Yourself Updated

The current affairs topic in the general awareness section is one of the best ways to score more. Devote considerable time to read about the current affairs and trending topics. With this activity, one can reduce the preparation time for the general awareness section. This will also be useful for the general studies in the tier-II round. While reading about the current affairs daily, make a note of the highlights.

Increase The Reading Speed

The English language is important and scoring in both tier-I & II rounds. Compared to the tier-I round, the tier-II English section will be very difficult and one has to answer 200 questions. Increase your reading skills to score well in this section. Reading the newspapers or editorial columns will help you to increase your speed besides your awareness about the current affairs.

Revisit The Concepts

We always suggest aspirants to opt for section-wise preparations and it doesn't mean ignoring the section until the revision time. Always revisit the mastered concepts and practise them regularly. With regular practise, one will also gain the command over the subjects.

Keep Visiting The Important Topics

Learning the important topics at the initial stages of their preparations will always provide better results. While solving the previous years' question papers, you will understand the important topics in the four sections of the tier-I round. Devote some time daily to prepare and revise these topics which will help you earn a good score.

These are some of the practises an aspirant has to follow daily to crack the SSC CGL Tier-I round. Though there is no sectional cut-off in the SSC CGL Tier-I round, candidates are advised to focus more on their strong areas. During the last one month of your preparations, increase your accuracy, specifically in the quantitative section.
